Third Time Lucky: DONTNOD To Attend GamesCom

PushSquare: "We just received a press release from DONTNOD Entertainment -- the studio believed to be working on an upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive called Adrift. While the press release was agonisingly ambiguous about the specifics of DONTNOD's debut project, it did provide a few morsels of information."

boy some are in for a dissapointment. it's no longer being published by sony, i don't know what could of happened but it was stated on a few french gaming sites. that's probably why they haven't released any details at E3 because they were looking for or arranging the final deals of another publisher. so in this case it has gone back to multiplatform status which in the press release they've stated "for current generation consoles" meaning there is more than one platform involved. i know i'll get disagrees but it's what i read and looked up.

EDIT: go to google and type in "dontnod a la gamescom" and the name of the site is elbakin it should have google translate next to it. reason i can't put it up is that i'm getting error messages. but it should be there, that's the best i can do at this point.

DeforMAKulizer4812d ago

I dont think they have dropped out, cause if you go to the site the only publisher logo still there is the SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment) logo...

So there might still be some hope.

"by the way, sony computer entertainment have finally lets turn on the publishing of the game"

quoted from the googl translate word for word.

MrBeatdown4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

Google translates it to "By the way, Sony Computer Entertainment have finally let go turn on the issue of the game".

Neither translation makes any sense at all, so do you have anything else to go by?

Anyway, just speculating here, but Sony always retains rights to the IPs of the games they publish. It strikes me as odd that Sony would sign on for a project with a developer, especially an unknown dev with no real leverage, and fund it without securing the rights to the IP. If Sony does own the rights, and the devs or Sony backed out of the deal, the rights to the IP would remain with Sony. That would send the devs back to the drawing board, and if that was the case, they wouldn't be ready to show something soon. There is no way a dev could sign a deal with Sony, then have the project go downhill to the point where the two split, then start from scratch on a new IP and have anything ready to start talking about within a year.

If Sony is no longer publisher, there's two possibilities that I can think of. One is that Sony didn't obtain the rights to begin with, which seems unlikely, or the IP is just so disappointing that Sony didn't even believe the IP was worth holding on to and sold it back to the dev, in which case, the game probably isn't going to amount to much anyway.

theunleashed644811d ago

maybe of the budget required? idk i'm having trouble putting together everything. it's been in developments since 2008 alot of time to spend on a game. it's odd and confusing move to me but we will see at gamescom next month.

firemassacre4812d ago

unleashed it would suck because then the game would be gimped...smh

Adrift Cancelled on Xbox One

“@itsmechadwick @ADR1FTTheGame @ThreeOneZero_ That's not real. You should get a refund immediately. Game not releasing on Xbox One.”

uptownsoul2860d ago (Edited 2860d ago )

It does suck that not everybody can play this game. I guess this is yet another example of why gamers should own multiple platforms. But what's even worse are the people who have to claim the game sucks just to justify their hurt feelings.

Activemessiah2860d ago

People CAN play it.. they just have to be wise and invest in the platforms that will be the most supported.

AngelicIceDiamond2859d ago

I just see it as another indie game not making it to a particular console. There's literally 100's out there and being made no use losing sleep over a loss indie game, the reason why it seems really important is because its Adam Orth. Truth be told I've forgotten all about this game.

uptownsoul2859d ago (Edited 2859d ago )

@bruce755 "The game does suck though. It got pretty low ratings all around."

Adr1ft's average score is 64 ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... ). If that game sucks because of its low ratings all around then what do you say about Recore - avg score 63 ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... ) or Ryse:Son of Rome - avg score 61 ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... )?

In other words, most of the people saying Adr1ft sucks weren't saying that about games that scored lower than it.

bouzebbal2859d ago

Get Ps4 or PC, you can't go wrong.

NatureOfLogic_2859d ago

I wouldn't advise anyone to wait and buy Scorpio because this will happen more and more, especially if Scorpio remains a premium product with less content support than PS4 and PC. Just my thoughts.

The game was released on STEAM, for Oculus and for the PS4. All versions sucked.

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

That's probably a good reason to cancel it for all other platforms. I won't buy this on any platform, even if it was released on the XB1. I have a PS4, but I won't touch this game unless it goes to PSPlus. Good job Adam. lol!!!

0Day2860d ago

Game super sucks anyways.

IamTylerDurden12860d ago

Right, bc less games is a good thing...

dumahim2860d ago (Edited 2859d ago )

If the game sucks, which I'm not saying this particular one does, but yes. Sometimes we are better off without bottom of the barrel stuff like Big Rigs.

@Gangsta

I just checked it out and you are right. The game might have suffered really poor sales on PS4 and PC.The PSVR version is on hiatus and the devs also told fans to beg the publisher for PSVR support.

and the reviews weren't great either

Less shitty games is always a good thing.

XanderZane2859d ago

When they suck it is. Just ask Nintendo with their Wii. Tons of games where most of them weren't good. Having more isn't always a good thing.

World would be a better place if Cheetamen and Superman 64 never existed.

My opinion isn't relevant, which is why I didn't offer it. And I wasn't even talking to you. I believe I made it evident who I was responding to when I typed "@ 0day".

"Super irrelevant". Very eloquently put, my friend.

Very classy as always, call ppl names and use sophomoric insults.

Honestly, I didn't even know it was supposed to come to the xb1. I figured it was a PSVR and PCVR game.

yeahright22860d ago (Edited 2860d ago )

Heh, I think they cancelled the psvr version as well.

EDIT: latest info I can find with a quick goole is that they asked fans to "demand a psvr port".

CrimsonPheonix2860d ago

Yeah no VR no buy, these guys are bozo's

UltraNova2859d ago

This game reeks of VR...is this Dev dense? What the hell, no xbox version amd no psvr support? are they trying to shoot themselves on the foot?

uth112860d ago

Not even on PSVR.

Too bad because I have no interest in playing it in a screen, but would be all over it as a VR experience

Well thats a shame; but unfortunately the game hasn't reviewed well from a VR standpoint, so I guess it's no loss.

ApocalypseShadow2988d ago (Edited 2988d ago )

Yeah that blows. I was looking forward to floating around in space on this game on PSVR. I'm going to check the VR reviews you are talking about.

I'm not sure if I want to get it as a regular game.

nveenio2987d ago

This is surprising. They would literally sell a copy to 90% of PSVR owners. Oh well. If they don't love working on their own game, then I don't want it.

SniperControl2987d ago

The VR experience is pretty good actually, really immersive, especially floating in space looking down at Earth below, shame the gameplay is average at best, i only paid £7 for it in the Steam sale so cant really complain.

The game i want to see in VR is No Man's Sky, Hello games have still to announce VR for that.

poppinslops2987d ago

Hello Games are busy working on the day 1 patch for NMS, so I wouldn't expect a VR announcement anytime soon - especially considering the size of their team... That said, I expect modders will have it running on Rift/Vive within a week of the game's launch.

ArchangelMike2987d ago (Edited 2987d ago )

Hello games have already been testing out No Man's Sky in VR, this was know a couple of years ago - watch the clips here http://gamerant.com/no-mans...

Sean Murray has also publicly stated that he owns the Occulus RIft, and that No Man's Sky in VR would be "the perfect fit"... but that he doesn't know what he can say about that.

In other words, and reading between the lines - Sony probably have a deal to have No Man's Sky VR exclusive to the PSVR platform.

poppinslops2986d ago

So Sean Murray's Oculus means it's a PSVR exclusive? That's some bizarro logic... if NMS was PSVR compatible they'd have annouced it by now.

Yet the tag was still added after being told otherwise ....... to funny

Look fantastic

Gran Turismo Sport and Eve too

"Dreams - We don’t even know what to tell you about this one, as information has been severely limited. But what we can tell you is that it looks gorgeous."

MM has done numerous livestreams showing off this game, so I think we have a pretty good idea of it by now, information is not limited at all, it's just that the concept is too big for some to grasp

Tsunade3104d ago

The Walking Dead VR would be amazing.

WeAreLegion3104d ago

Dreams will start getting campaign trailers around E3. So, expect to know more then, as far as actual content is concerned.

DDMNeo3103d ago

I like that it looks like the golem has a megaphone that's too small for him.
